Hi Everyone. Can you believe that it is already May! When and where I grew up my small town had a May celebration at which a boy and girl from the local high school graduating class were chosen as King and Queen for the occasion. When I was six years old I was chosen along with a first grade classmate to carry the queen’s cape. Oh to be as carefree and of normal weight with no effort or concern as I was then. I gained prepubescent padding without knowing how. Fortunately it was gone by the time I reached puberty. I never dreamed I would have a weight issue. Now I know I will have to struggle to keep my weight down until the day I die. That can be a hard fact to face for many. Too many people lose sometimes a great deal and breathe a sigh of relief assuming the process of losing is all over. We all know how dangerous that is. I pray we all stay within five pounds of our ideal weight.
Alas, I gained 1.5 pounds this week. I know some is from excess salt but I can’t blame it all on that. I must knuckle down and get rid of at least half a pound in the next seven days.
Agate, sorry to miss you this week. I hope everything is o.k.
Mamabug, that is a success. Staying the same is one step away from losing. I know you can get rid of the few pounds you have said you want to shed. Keep fighting the good fight.
Hsmaldo, I hope we have not lost you. I miss hearing from you and hope you aren’t giving up on losing those unwanted pounds. Please let us know.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you this week. I hope everything is going well in your world.
Msgijo, good for you for losing a small amount especially under your trying circumstances. Your husband having brain surgery is a stress of all stresses. I send my best thoughts for his full recovery. Do keep us informed.
For those who may have an interest in joining our dedicated group, our members each have their own personal methods of weight loss. Some are on Weight Watchers, some on Atkins for example and some just cut calories. I personally lost quite a lot of weight in the beginning using Atkins and then just cut portions while eating everything. The method is not the most important thing, it is staying focused and following the plan.
We post weight loss, gain, stayed the same, from Thursday to Thursday and have been doing so for over 15 years. We are truly dedicated to get rid of those pesky pounds and keep them off. You don’t have to state your actual weight. It’s a matter of choice.
Tip For The Week:
Dr. Oz says, “Eating liquid-based foods such as natural smoothies and low-sodium soup can help you cut back on calories yet feel full.”
Dr. Oz does not say when to eat the above. If it is for lunch it could be a good choice probably. If it is between meals as a snack it could be too much.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
.8 pounds lost by two members. It may not be much but it is worthwhile. Every tiny bit helps and should be viewed as success. It is this week’s assurance that it can be done. Thanks for being our positive examples for the week.
Total Gain:
0 pounds reported. Reporting gains is an important part of the weight loss process. I hope no one is avoiding facing the truth. Gains remind us that it can happen.
Stayed The Same:
0 members. As we know, staying the same truly is success, including for those who are maintaining. Just keep remembering it is the time before the next loss if you have more to lose. Also staying the same is a signal that you are eating the right amount to maintain your losses.
3989.51 is the total weight loss for the past 15+ years. We hit a new milestone. We now have less than 11 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.

. Doctors are hopeful that as swelling decreases he will regain some of his vision back, and that therapy will help him to compensate for any remaining loss.
